Subject[PATCH -mm] do_migrate_pages() calls migrate_to_node() even if task is already on a correct node
While moving tasks between cpusets I noticed some strange behavior.  Specifically if the nodes of the destination
cpuset are a subset of the nodes of the source cpuset do_migrate_pages() will move pages that are already on a node
in the destination cpuset. The reason for this is do_migrate_pages() does not check whether each node in the source
nodemask is in the destination nodemask before calling migrate_to_node(). If we simply do this check and skip them
when the source is in the destination moving we wont move nodes that dont need to be moved.

Adding a little debug printk to migrate_to_node():

Without this change migrating tasks from a cpuset containing nodes 0-7 to a cpuset containing nodes 3-4, we migrate
from ALL the nodes even if they are in the both the source and destination nodesets:

Migrating 7 to 4
Migrating 6 to 3
Migrating 5 to 4
Migrating 4 to 3
Migrating 1 to 4
Migrating 3 to 4
Migrating 0 to 3
Migrating 2 to 3


With this change we only migrate from nodes that are not in the destination nodesets:

Migrating 7 to 4
Migrating 6 to 3
Migrating 5 to 4
Migrating 2 to 3
Migrating 1 to 4
Migrating 0 to 3
